Was wondering if a GXT 460 user could chime in with any advise. Good idea or not.

My current card is a nvidia geforce 8800 gt used with Vue 8.4 Complete

NOTE: I don't do games or video. I'm just interested in scene set up working well with OPEN GL 2.1 mode in Vue being able to move things around to compose a scene quickly with plenty of shaders or textures and lighting, giving me a pretty good preview of what the render will look like.

I bought the gtx 460 thinking that it would support the Shader 4 system in Vue 8.5....

Well, it does. Except it then crashes. Not Vue... the actual driver. I'm in Win 7 64, and thankfully the OS can recover when the display driver crashes instead of dumping to a blue screen. On fixed pipeline it works fine, but then you might as well get an ATI 5850

I've tried every driver from nvidia that will work on this card. It seems that Vue will use the card, but the driver cannot handle the stress. The card works fine in everything else, so I dont believe the card to be a lemon. Could be wrong.
